Frontal Attack ANS >>> A form of manoeuvred in which an attacking force seeks to
destroy a weaker enemy force or fix a larger enemy force in place over a broad
front.
Flanking Attack ANS >>> 1. uses fire and manoeuvrer in order to gain a position of
advantage against an enemy vulnerability.
2. usually uses a support by fire position that diverts attention away from the
main effort and uses fires to fix the enemy in place, preventing them from
reorienting on the main effort.
Classification of Offensive Fires ANS >>> -Fires in support of manoeuvred-the MG
unit will suppress the manoeuvred unit's immediate objective to allow the unit to
move into position to conduct the final assault.
-Fires in support of isolation- the MG unit will suppress any enemy unit that can
interfere with the manoeuvrer elements advance.
,-Fires in support of assault- the MG unit will suppress the manoeuvred unit's
immediate objective.
-Fires in support of consolidation- enemy counterattack should be expected
following seizure of objective. MGs are used to protect the unit's consolidation
and reorganization.
Types of Attacks ANS >>> Deliberate
Hasty
Priority of Recon ANS >>> o Confirm location of enemy defenced CSW, obstacles
and security.
o Identify the EN CV
o Identify the assault position that will best allow the ME to assault the enemy
o Identify the best support by fire position
o Identify routes and Tomm’s
Occupying Support by Fire ANS >>> -Stealth

Principal Direction of Fire ANS >>> the weapons primary focus is covering a likely
avenue of approach, key piece of terrain, or whatever object of interest that unit
leader assigns it. Weapon will leave and right lateral limits.
Final Protective Line ANS >>> the weapon is primarily in a position to employ
grazing fires (centre of the cone of fire does not pass 1 meter off the deck) across
a unit's frontage as a last effort to defend the lines.
7 Steps of Engagement Area Development ANS >>> 1. Identify all likely enemy
avenues of approach
2. Determine likely enemy schemes of manoeuvrer
3. Determine where to kill the enemy
4. Emplace weapon systems
5. Plan and integrate obstacles
6. Plan and integrate indirect fires
7. Conduct EA rehearsals
Types of Defensive Positions ANS >>> Primary
Supplementary
Alternate
Subsequent
Primary Postino ANS >>> is the best place to accomplish the assigned mission.
